Homework Statement This is the point: (6,0,-2) Homework Equations x = 4-2t y = 3+5t z = 7+4tThe Attempt at a Solution Do I just plug in the points and see if I get matching values of t? If not, how do I go about this?

Homework Statement Birds can be seen perched on a high voltage power line yet seem unaffected by the high voltage. This is due to... A) Low resistance of the birds compared to the wire, minimizing current through the birds B) birds keeping only one foot on the wire, thus not completing a...

http://postimg.org/image/onxjqc26l/ I have found the shear stress of the inner cylinder to be 405 Pa like in the solution but I am having trouble visualizing the total moment of this stress about the center line. I was wondering if someone could explain where that d(theta) in the moment...

Could someone please check my work? Thanks :) A cyclist rode east for 1.0 x 10^2 m with a constant velocity of 25.0m/s. She then accelerated down a hill, and 5.0s later reached the bottom of the hill with a velocity of 50.0m/s. a)How long did the cyclist ride before reaching the hill...

for the line y=4x-2 there is one perpendicular line of which will enclose a triangle on the lines and the values of the y-axis whose area is 8. What is the equation of this line? Well, I chose the x value to be the height of the triangle and that would make the base B=(4x-2)+2+\frac{1}{4}x or...

Homework Statement On pages 65-66 of Calculus An Intuitive And Physical Approach, Mr. Kline discusses Inclinations of lines. In illustration 3A-7 he uses the substitution method to create a proof. But there is one step that I think he leaves out. He shows the equation tan A = tan(180 - B) =...

I have been told that if the line connects breaker to breaker, it is considered to be radial; but, this doesn't make sense to me. If a line is connected by two feeders then there would be two sources of power, hence "Radial". I'm not sure if I'm missing some minute detail that makes the whole...

Hi, I'm working on a project to make a fault locating system on HV and MV (11kv to 220kv, 33kv first). I'm try to make a device that can be directly mounted to the line (Mount on live bare conductors) to detect the fault in the power line and send a radio signal to devise mounted on the pole...

"In a private project of mine, I have come across a challenging problem. I have 3 points: A, B and C. A is the motionless point of origin and C is the orbital point of destination. B is the linear transmission between the two; it must intersect with the changing position of C after leaving A...

I have a rotated ellipse, not centered at the origin, defined by x,y,a,b and angle. Then I have a segment defined by two points x1,y1 and x2,y2 Is there a quick way to find the intersection points? I used wolfram alpha equation solver, I tried to insert the equation of a line into the one of a...

So, as i understand, the geometrical meaning of this type of integral should still be the area under the curve, however, I really do not see how you can obtain each infinitesimal rectangle from the dot product. I have understood the typical work example, that is, the line integral as the sum...

Homework Statement Determine the magnitude of the projection of force F = 700N along the u axis. Homework Equations Cosθ = (A • B)/(||A|| * ||B||) The Attempt at a Solution I'm guessing I have to use the above equation, but my problem is finding the B vector. A is easy enough...

Say we have two functions with the following properties: f(x) is negative and monotonically approaches zero as x increases. g(x,y) is a linear function in x and is, for any given y, tangent to f(x) at some point x_0(y) that depends on the choice of y in a known way. Additionally, for any...

I would like to think that I understand how 4-velocity is defined in special relativity. It makes sense to me that one takes a differential segment of the world line ##(dt, d\vec x)## and translates it into a frame in which its spatial component disappears, leaving only ##(d\tau, 0) =...

I know it's long but I really need help. I'm terrible at math. Anyway, given only a start and end point, I'm trying to draw a line by creating a number of points at regular intervals between those start and end points. This is what I have so far (it's from C# code so I hope it's not too hard to...

Is there a formula that will give me the equation for the line of best fit of a data set, the line being a 6th degree polynomial? I know how to graph the table and add a line of best fit while showing the equation but as far as I know the equation cannot be used in the given format in excel. If...

Homework Statement Figure shows a 50 Hz, high-voltage, transmission line. The relationships between the sending and receiving end voltages and currents are given by the complex ABCD equations: V_S = V_R (A_1+jA_2)+I_R (B_1+jB_2) I_S = V_R(C_1+jC_2)+I_R(D_1+jD_2) where 'S' stands...

Definition/Summary In Euclidean coordinate geometry, a Line usually means the whole (infinitely long) Line. (In ordinary Euclidean geometry, a Line usually means a line segment between two points.) The equation of a Line in n dimensions is a combination of n-1 linear equations of the...

I have had some trouble with Kleppner and Kollenkow's derivation of work in a uniform force field. As the attached image shows, all three integrals (with respect to dx, dy, dz) are evaluated as follows: $$\int_{x_a, y_a, z_a} ^ {x_b, y_b, z_b}$$ . I am not sure how to proceed with such limits...

I have an object (A) at some altitude above the Earth ellipsoid, and a point (B) on the surface of the Earth. Since you're not confined to the surface of the Earth as you travel from A (at altitude), to B, I'm getting confused. If I were to create a (Cartesian) vector pointing from object...
